The story
The Anarchist is a two-person play by David Mamet that opened on Broadway in 2012, starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger. The play shows an interrogation between a female prison parole review officer and a female former domestic terrorist. The title character, though fictional, is based on two female members of the 1970s American militant organization Weather Underground, Judith Alice Clark and Kathy Boudin, who both took part in the fatal 1981 Brink's robbery.
